Installing a Dual-Core Processor

The server uses dual-core processors. Each processor contains two cores that function as
separate processors. Dual-core processors double the processing power of the server while
maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor.
The server can contain one, two, three, or four dual-core processors that provide the following
configuration options:
1P/2C (One processor/two cores)
2P/4C (Two processors/four cores)
